An honest comparison based on real user reviews. Both are popular Minimalism Companion apps — but which one do users complain about less?
Relies on Shortcuts causing clunky multi-step app launches; iOS 26 Liquid Glass breaks minimal aesthetic completely
"when tapping the name of certain apps in the widget it opens the shortcut app brielfy before opening the actual app"
"With the advent of iOS 26 and Liquid Glass, this app has become completely unusable from a UI/UX perspective"
Manipulative freemium model that blocks re-enabling restrictions after free trial; expensive $70/year subscription required upfront
"After a day, it sneakily allows you to turn OFF restrictions, but you can't turn them ON again without buying a subscription. Manipulative design pattern"
"$70 for a year and you have to pay it all at once. Robbed I feel robbed"
